Simultaneous weekend UFO sightings across Huddersfield and Calderdale

WE are not alone ... it seems

Examiner readers from as far apart as Ripponden and Denby Dale claim to have seen a UFO at the same time last weekend.

At first residents from the Holme Valley came forward saying they had seen a bright orange light floating in the sky at about 11pm on Sunday.

And on Tuesday more people from Dalton and Slaithwaite contacted us confirming they too had seen a mysterious orange glow.

One reader managed to capture video footage of the bright lights over Dalton and uploaded it to video website Youtube.

The witnesses say the object stopped and started and many refuse to believe the glow could be a Chinese firefly lantern, the culprit behind previous alleged UFO sightings.

Paul Greenaway, who lives in remote Soyland near Ripponden, said he saw the lights zooming towards Halifax.
